This Indian street food-inspired eatery is loved by locals and tourists alike, and it has recently earned a James Beard Award in the Outstanding Restaurant category, so you can see why it's so popular. In addition to the excellent curries, crispy kale pakoras and lime-kissed matchstick okra fries have deservedly earned wide acclaim, but if you want your mind blown, try the butter chicken. This signature dish is a North Indian favorite and is made with marinated and seared chicken in an aromatic tomato cream sauce with butter and jaggery.
